by using rain dance on manaphy, You forefiet a turn to gain a boost in speed rather than increase your special attack while your opponent gets a free turn to switch into a counter,set up, or attack your manaphy, and there are those rare cases when you can predict a switch and set and up. In addition you're spending your only Z move on something that a sawsbuck coffee can do just as well. You're just spending too much just to get a +1 on speed and there are items that can furfill this purpose better Z-rain dance is an actual set on Manaphy and therefore should be ranked higher, don't forget that the weather Rain gives it a boost in its Water-type move. It goes with Tail Glow and acts as a set-up sweeper.
